500th Anniversary of the Reformation (Notebook Pages/Lapbook)

Many people around the world are celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. If you plan to talk about Martin Luther and the Reformation this week, you might want to download our Reformation notebook pages and lapbook. They are currently FREE!

It was October 1517 that Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses (or complaints) to his bishop. According to one account, Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Germany on 31 October 1517. This is contended by some scholars, but what is clear is that these Theses were distributed fairly quickly throughout Germany and with a couple of months through all of Europe (because of the printing press). As a result the Catholic Church was split and Protestant Christianity began.

Martin Luther is widely acknowledged to have started the Reformation with the Ninety-five Theses.

These notebook pages are included in our 90+ page European History 1500-1750 Packet on the Renaissance, Reformation, Age of Absolutism, Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment. See more details below!

Martin Luther – Reformation Notebook Pages and Lapbook Pieces

We read the sections in history book on Martin Luther and the Reformation. We’re using The Story of the Renaissance (affiliate link) as our spine for this unit.

We watched the movie, Luther (affiliate link). It is a PG-13 film starring the actor Joseph Fiennes. It touches on most of the historical material we are covering for this part of our unit (Johann Tetzel’s sale of indulgences). There was a sub-story about a crippled little girl that was compelling (for my kids). They really loved the movie (and begged to continue watching each day!).

Another option is the PBS documentary Empires – Martin Luther (affiliate link). We didn’t watch this, but we *did* watch the Empires episodes on the Medici Family (affiliate link), which was really terrific. Again, as with any historical dramas/movies, I recommend you preview these to see if they are a good fit for your family.

Hi! I’m Liesl!

Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too!
I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It's about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)
